Melancholic Moment

The Christmas tree is up, chasing lights, trimmings and all. The tree and decors are all from last year. Wuan brought them from KL. I know it is a little premature to get into a festive mood. But I have been melancholic for some time now. This is a little pick-me-up that I thought could cheer me up.

The living room is almost in darkness with only the corridor lights illuminating from outside. The chasing lights are basking the room in a warm glow. The baubles looked shinier than before. Gold and red ribbon bows added a touch of elegance. This is a pretty tree, like a lady all dressed up for a night out.

Here I am, sitting all by myself, silently watching the lights blink, trying to find a reason to celebrate. I am feeling very emotional. I am so lonesome I could cry. Mum is no longer here. Wuan is 400km away. It is difficult to persuade myself to rejoice the season when there is no one to share in the festivities of the moment with me.

Hi Peter
It is one of those days, huh? You may be alone at home but not in the cyberhome, as I can see. There are so many caring friends here who show genuine warmth. May the sun shine real bright soon.

Heyy…don’t feel sad!! I know it is lonely without anyone physically there with you now..especially when your mum is not around anymore and Wuan is so far away…but there are always cyber friends…neighbours…church mates…relatives…and of course God.
Christmas is a time to remember God…on how His Son was born on this day to save us all from our sins. Christmas is time to be thankful for all that we have today 🙂
Cheer up!! Take care 🙂
